I am 3 months out and after two months, I totally stopped losing weight. I tried to eat less, exercise more. I tried to eat more, exercise less. I tried it all. I only lost 35 pounds since the surgery, and this was my biggest fear. All of my hopes and dreams are shattered.

Don't beat yourself up. I have yet to do the surgery but you are not alone in this. There are alot of people in your same position right now. i have watched tons of youtube videos about it and read forums where other people are going through the same thing. Just stay active and following the diet to a T and everything will be fine. I have noticed many people hidding their scales because they become consumed with the numbers.

totally step away from the scale!i only way 1x a month when I go to dr.let your clothes weigh you in between.believe me you will see the difference in your clothes.it takes time for the numbers to catch up on the scale.when I get to my goal then I will start weighing myself a little more often but not until then.get off the roller coaster other wise you will be driving yourself crazy!!!

When was the last time that you lost almost 20lbs a month? Any progress is progress. You didn't gain 35 pounds in 2 months, losing sure won't be as fast either. Any progress is progress! Be proud of what you have accomplished and keep the faith that it will continue. Your body needs time to catch up from losing 35lbs so quickly... Slow your body time to do its job!

I was recently in a six week stall after four months of losing. Pre surgery my mind would have said, I knew this would happen. Go eat (fill in the blank) because darn it, you tried.

Post surgery me was still disappointed the scale wasn't changing. I added Water aerobics. I started a couch to 5 k running program. No movement. Heck...now what. I went back to liquids and really pushed them for three days. Hello! Down seven pounds in nine days. The body was changing but the scale wasn't ready to show it!

So keep switching things up. I now swear by increasing fluids. Oh, and I half walked, half RAN 3.106 miles Saturday to practice for a real 5K. And I liked it!

Liquids baby all the way!
